Updates for version 4.7.0
| Info | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Note that on ECMWF machines, you need to load the 'dev' module of ecflow to get the 4.7.0 test version:
This command should only be for testing the new user interface and not for running a server! |
Installation date 2017-09-11 (version 4.7.0)
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Tree view | New feature: the expand all children action in the tree view now defines a state so when new children appear for the given node they always get expanded automatically. This state is cleared when the collapse all children action is run on the node. |
| Tree view | New feature: variables can now be edited in the tree view |
| Tree view | New feature: the middle mouse button in the 'Compact' tree layout only expands the tree and does not cause the node to be selected. |

| Startup | Fix: fixed issue when the minimised state of the windows were stored between sessions resulting in windows kept hidden on startup |

The current mode is displayed in the window title bar of ecFlowUI. To change the menu mode use: Tools → Preferences → Menus → Toolbar |

| Nodes | Improvement: tree and table views will now always show the selected node, even if it does not match the filtering criteria. For example, if a tree view has a status filter which does not display completed nodes, and the user clicks on a completed node from a search result or a notification, then it will appear in any tree or table view that is in the linked state. | ECFLOW-813 |
| Tree view | Improvement: when the result of a search is an attribute and it is clicked on, it becomes selected in any linked tree views | ECFLOW-839 |
